Originally created by @carpawell on GitHub (Jan 28, 2022).

Verbose printing is used in printVerbose function only. That function is called only 23 times in the whole neofs-cli app.

I believe our CLI could be more communicative for both user and developer when he debugs some errors.

It could print what key source was used: wallet, binary, WIF
It could print all the read command (config) flags right before their usage.

Some tools take into account amount of v flags increasing details. Maybe we can also support this approach. For example:

-v: user-related info like keys, resolved flags, etc.
-vv: additionally print actions step by step
-vvv: debug mode with a description of each action, useful for devs

Main desire: to use a convenient framework so that the eye is not blurred when implementing/reading the main instructions.
